Only 16 minutes in right now, but a "speedrun" where you already had to restart due to softlock and the first trainer you run into has a sweeper you can't even attack. This is amazing and exactly how randomizers always go

[@TsuikeNovaus]

In case you ever do this again, you can toss/use the pokeball and be fine iirc. Source: (watched alot of Gen 1 randomizer with speedrunners and when they start places like safari, they tend to toss the balls if they want the pokedex. Interestingly enough this only applies to Pokeballs, Great and better doesn't cause the softlock.) Edit: Also, there is a key item randomizer. Shenanigans, 360Chrism, and Keizaron have played it a few times.

[@Jabadamazo]

They took so many shortcuts programming Gen 1, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Pokeball check thing is in there.

Yo respect for not copping out and taking the Kabutops. Would have been boring knowing you didn´t get it legit.

[@mistermr2147]

Also I think there's so many multi-hit moves because I assume the randomizer assigns the lowest bp moves to the low level mons, not accounting for the multi-hit nature, which is kind of funny because I believe multi-hit moves are disproportionately strong at low levels.

[@leecrawford6560]

There are key item randomizers for both Red/Blue and Crystal actually. They only randomize key items, so you may want to mix it up with the Universal Randomizer.

[@sirswagabadha4896]

As for the comment near the end about the japanese D/P games: there actually was a fairly recent discovery (in the past year or two) where people finally found a way to trigger the arceus event from the void. In fact, you can keep triggering it nonstop by taking a step in and out of the zone and farm arceus infinitely. It turned out to be possible, it just wasn't known back then

[@AshbyDr]

I can't believe you used a Master ball to catch KZbin comment engagement.

[@wereoctopus]

Thanks for the fun playthrough! It was fun to see a rock/ground type that has good speed and special bulk. If you want to do a catch 'em all randomiser, there's some hacks which change the encounter tables to get rid of the 1% slots. It's miserable if some single-stage pokemon gets randomised to only be in a 1% slot, especially if you never see a trainer with one so you can't even look up what route it's on. (though you could also let yourself look at the log file if you get stuck)

[@ludvigericson6930]

The reason you see the same pokémons is that the randomizer has only substituted them with each other. Wherever a pidgey is, a magmar appears. Like that.

[@finalscore2983]

@Logicalwren 23 ah, OK, you thought I meant make a new UPR seed. No, not necessary.

[@drdca8263]

Final Score I doubt this is possible to set up without using arbitrary code execution to change the game, but what if there was was an almost-softlock where the only way out of it involved choosing new game but without saving the new game, so that the existing save file is still preserved? That would be quite something. Maybe uh, some memory state might be preserved when doing a soft reset, and if some ACE code could be run when loading a save, and check the memory that is kept when doing a soft reset, and if the save file was set up such that the memory couldn’t be set up in the desired way from within the save, but can be during a new file? But that all relies on there being some memory state preserved when doing soft reset, and idk if that is true.

This made for a fun time. I forgot how ugly or weird many of the Red/Blue sprites are and it's somewhat surprising the Gen 1 games became so popular considering how they feel "held together with tape and bubblegum" (but I suspect it's just we didn't realize it until future games as Gens added improvements to the series since I played the heck out of Blue and Yellow when they came out).

A randomized "speedrun" would just be resetting until you got a good start, so they wouldn't be very interesting to rank. Every run would start with the runner resetting until their starter was a Mewtwo or something ridiculous.

[@purpleheartneptune6267]

Nah that’s what people like nexus and sacred do pikasprey is above that

[@zaersgtreargtrnaioegbaoifare]

You can patch in the run button! At least if you compile using the disassembly you can, there's a page on the github for the disassembly that tells you what code to replace to do it. IDK how the randomizer works but if it takes a Red/Blue rom as input you should be able to feed it a rom that has the run button mod.

[@XionSteel]

the rule of thumb with randomizers is: you are the world record holder for the seed you made yourself. lol

[@Carrisonfire1]

I always took the long way to Fuchsia City because that's where the Super Rod is. Gen1 limited inventory space means I always skip the Old & Good rods.

[@ZorotheGallade]

One thing I don't want to do in randomizers is randomize types. Having to figure out every Pokémon's type by trial and error kinda spoils the challenge for me since it's something you have little to no control on.

talking about replacing the battery in your game cartridge as your making it through the 8 badge keepers along victory road. only a few months ago, i saw a copy of Pokemon Crystal for £40 in my local CEX store in England! was like Woah!!! who would fork out 40 quid for a game which has probably got a dead internal battery. i'm pretty sure CEX don't do the replacement battery thing for the old gameboy cartridges.

"Too bad they can't patch in the run button." Pokered disassembly now has a tutorial on how to do exactly that. Holding B is 2x walking speed. It also doubles Surf speed and makes the bike 4x walking speed. (I think originally it is only 2x.) Mach bike in gen 1? Yes please! If only I could figure out how to add code to register an item. There are some bag improvement scripts as well. "I wish Kanto's map could be randomized." Yay that map randomizers now exist!
